Advises Storing
Sweet Potato Crop
.?! ? r* ''I
Since a large crop of ^weet po- ?
t a toes is now being harvested j
and marketed, particularly in !
Georgia, South Carolina, Louisi
ana, and North Carolina, Tar
Hell farmers should seriously con
sider curing and storing at least
a part of their crop on the farm
this f^l, believes H. M. Coving
ton, hOTticulturist for (he State
College Extension Service.
Such curing and storing, says
Covington, should reduce the
glutted market condition during
October and early November,
when the price is usually the low
est of the year.
The price usually begins to in
crease just before Thanksgiving
and slowly increases until the
following May. For this reason
stored potatoes usually should
not be sold before January 1. On
the other hand, Covington says, ft
is not considered advisable to
hold all potatoes until late in the
season-^late April and May.

and SOCIAL SECURITY
By Leo la M. Byerly, Field Rep.
Gastonia Social Security Office
A farmer came into the Gasrto
nia Social Security office the oth
er day and said: "I've heard that
?he new social security law cov
er; farmers. I operate a farm in
Clc Mand County."
Well, so.me farm people will
come under social security on
January first ? but not farm op
erators. They will continue to be
excluded because farm self -em
ployment Is not covered under
the amended Social Security Act.
Hired farm workers, however, will
come under social security the
first of the year, if they earn $50
or more cash wages In a calendar
quarter and are regularly em
ployed by one farm operator.
If I were addressing you in a
hall, at this point, there would
be a number of raised hands.
First, you'd want to know what is
meant by a regularly employed]
farm worker. Well, under the
new social security law, in gen
eral, he is a person employed by
one farm operator on a full-time
basis for a period of several mon
ths. Now to answer the second
question I know you would ask.
A calendar quarter is a three
month period beginning on Jan
uary 1, April 1, July 1, and Oct. 1.
But back to the subject of a
regularly employed farm worker.'
Let's take a typical example. We]
will call such a farm worker Ed I
Smith. He Is employed by Howard i
Jones. Ed has heard about the
new social security, too. He nas
a wlfetand children, and he's
looking foiward to January, when
he can start building toward old
age and survivors insurance. For
tunately for Ed, he is in a posi
tion to do just that. He will be
working continuously for Jones
during the calendar quarter be
ginning this October. During thaf
time, he will be establishing
what is known as a "service re
lationship" with Mr. Jones. It
will indicate that he wants to
work continuously for this one
farm operator and that Jones
wants him as a regular employ
ee.
Now let's look forward to Jan
uary first. That's the date when
regular farm work begins to
count towaro social security In
surance. Ed will be qualified.
However, he must work for Jones
on a full-time basis for at least
60 days in the calendar quarter
beginning on January first. More
over, he must eirn not less than
$50 in cash wages for his work on
those 60 or more days. As long as
he continues to do this much
work for Jones in each calendar
quarter, and earns $50 or more in
cash wages for his work in that
quarter, his earnings will be
credited toward old-age and sur
vivors insurance.
But suppose in the calendar
quarter beginning April 1, or the
one beginning July 1, or in any
calendar quarter after thaf, Ed
doesn't work as much as 60 days

gnmmit all orer the cowitryl
for Jones, although he was paid
$50 or more cash wages lor that
period. He will be credited to
ward social security insurance
for that quarter but not for the
one to follow, regardless of days
of work and amount of cash wa
ge's. That less-than-60-days of
work broke his continuous em:
ployment relationship with Mr.
Jones. Ed must start all over a
gain. What this all means is
that a farm worker, to have his
cash wages wunt toward old-age
and survivors insurance, mus:
first, work continuously through
a calendar quarter to establish a
service relationship, then be con
tinuously employed by the same
farm operator, and earn not less
$50 cash wages for 60 or more
duys work in each consecutive
calendar quarter.
In my next article I shall de
scribe the kinds of work that are
classed as farm work under the
amended social security law. .
DHIA Cow Testing
Program Explained
The D. H. I. A. (Dairy Herd Im

explained in a new folder issued
this week by the State College
Extension Service.
The publication, illustrated
with photographs and a chart
showing one year's production of
a typical North Carolina herd, is
Issued as Extension Folder No.

should request them from their
local county agent or by writing

ord on each cow in the herd and
on the herd as a whole." A D. H.
I. *A. supervisor spends one day
each month in the herd for each
30 cows, weighing each, cow's
milk and making a butterfat test.
He records all the data in a herd
book. This book is a permanent
record for each cow and for the
herd.
D. H. I. Attesting, It is pointed
out, is a guide to better feeding,
efficient breeding, and proper
culling.
' "You can't pick the most pro
fitable cowsa just by looking at
them," the folder explains. "A D.
H. I. A. record is the only depen
dable way. Low producere are
unprofitable. They should be cul
led from the herd as soon as lo
cated." -
Records show that cows in D.
H. I. A. tests in North Carolina
produce 130 pounds more butter >
fat annually than the average
cow.

RUNNING AMERICA is the joint job of 150,000,000 people. IV 8 the biggest job in the world today
?keeping it running for liberty and for freedom. And the whole world's watching to see
whether Americans can do it!
IN MUCH OF THE WORLD' today, the people have resigned from running their own countries.
Others have been quick to step in? first with promises of "security" ?and then "with whips
and guns? to run things their way. The evidence is on every front page in the world, every day.
FREEDOM COMES UNDER ATTACK. The reality of war has
made every American think hard about the things he's willing to work
and fight for? and freedom leads the list.
But that freedom has been attacked here recently? {ust
as it has been attacked in other parts of the world. One
of the most serious threats to individual freedom has
been the threat of Government-dominated Compulsory
Health Insurance, falsely presented as a new guarantee
of health "security" for everybody.

THE PEOPLE WEIGH THE FACTS. In the American manner, the
people studied the case for Socialized Medicine? and the rase agpinst if.
They, found that Government domination of the people's medical
affairs under Compulsory Health Insurance means low el" standards
of medtcrtl care, higher payroll taxes; loss of incentive, damage to
research, penalties for the provident, rewards for the improvident.
They found that no country on earth can surpass Amer
ica's leadership in medical care and progress. They
found that able doctors, teachers, nurses and scientists
?working in laboratories where Science, not Politics, is
master? are blazing dramatic new trails to health for
Americans? and for the world.
izations spoke out? giving the great United States Congress its
unmistakable Grass Roots signal from home!
And ever watchful, ever sensitive to an alert people,
The Congress saw that signal, and heard Ihe peopio
speak out, loud and plain. That's democracy in action.
That's the American way!
